TOPW show

Toronto Photo Walks* is holding its first group exhibition at Studio 561 on March 17th to 31st. Details are on the TOPWshow.ca website; there’s even a poster for you to print and display :)

The opening party will be on Saturday March 17th, 5pm onwards – I’m sure we can arrange for green beer for those who are celebrating St. Patrick’s Day.

(*TOPW is the photo-walking group that I started in 2009; I’m one of the 21 photographers showing work at this exhibition.)

Worldwide Photo Walk 2011

I’m organising a photo walk in Toronto as part of the 4th annual Worldwide Photo Walk, which will be my 2nd WWPW as a walk leader.

The walk I’m planning is in the Summerhill & Yorkville area. It coincides with our regular Toronto Photo Walk schedule, so I’m organising it as a normal TOPW event (i.e. 10am to 6pm with pub stops for lunch and at the end) but there’s a specific WWPW start point for anyone who only wants to join us for a couple of hours.

If you’re interested in joining my walk, register and join the walk; if you want to find another WWPW or organise your own, just go to the WWPW website and follow their navigation.

Update: the walk is now full (50 people) and there’s a waiting list; you can add your name to the waiting list if you want, or sign up for one of the other walks in the area. I promise not to be upset if you go to someone else’s walk or lead your own! :)

p.s. Official WWPW T-shirts are now available.

A night walk with Toronto Photo Walks; unfortunately it rained quite heavily and we didn’t make it over to the Islands but at least there were some interesting clouds.

Toronto skyline from Cherry Street

After the Distillery District / St. Lawrence Market photo walk a few of the TOPW group headed down to Cherry Beach to shoot the “supermoon”; I shot this en route, looking back at the TO skyline.
